Für Nichtmuttersprachler: nicht gepackt = nicht erfolgreich bewältigt

"nicht erfolgreich bewältigt"
Ich dachte, das ist österreichisch ;)

Danke für Kommentardurchsichtsaufmerksamkeit!
Vielleicht hat es mit meiner süddeutschen Zeit zu tun. Ich glaube aber nicht.

"nicht erfolgreich bewältigt" - wie sagt man das auf Englisch? ☺
"did not pass successfully"?

@eldad
I suppose so. But it would not render the colloquial tone of the German. I would have to think about it to find something fitting, or wait till my native speaker comes home - if you see what I mean.

Thanks.
"Mit Geduld pflückt man Rosen." (at least this is what my teacher used to say ☺).
We have patience. Let's wait and see.
BTW, I've just looked for the above sentence on the Web, and found only two or three occurrences of it. Which means that either I don't remember the expression well, or that one usually says it otherwise. Could you enlighten me?

I have been away from my mother country for a decade now. But to me it sounds quite natural. You would use it in informal situations of course.
Wait till some other German speakers have their say.

@raggione
Ich würde "nicht gepackt" mit "nicht bestanden" erklären.

Danke, Mandalay.
Ich setze Deinen Vorschlag in meinen ersten Kommentar dazu, damit man ihn nicht übersieht.
(Alles ist schon so lange her, ich kann mich kaum noch dran erinnern: #6116641 (smile))

Ich weiss, wie das ist. Danke :)

@raggione,
could you add an English variant? ☺

@ Eldad
Please have a look at my English variant.
I did my very best :)

@Eldad
I asked my personal native speaker and she came up with two suggestions, which I both added. "He fluffed the resit, too" is probably closest.
Hope this makes you happy. Have a good month of June.(#6119423)
@Mandalay
Ook voor jou een mooie maand.

Thanks, @raggione.
Indeed, a few more days and I'll have my birthday. ☺

@raggione
Dankjewel hoor! Hetzelfde gewenst :)
